FRESH facts emerged on why Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, visited Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, fondly called Sunday Igboho, in Cotonou, Benin Republic.
Soyinka had visited Igboho and leaders of the Ilana Omo Oodua, IOO, Professor Banji Akintoye and Dr. Adewale Adeniran.
Accompanying some photos of the visit was a caption where Igboho wrote: “It’s my pleasure to have my father, Prof. Wole Soyinka, around. I wish you more good life sir.”
The playwright, who was seen at the Seme border around noon on Sunday, crossing over to Cotonou, was mobbed by a crowd while waiting to complete immigration formalities.
While he was repeatedly asked where he was headed, he responded that he was on a visit to Sunday Igboho to break the Muslim fast with him.
Another source told Vanguard that the meeting, which was held behind closed doors, was to “map out strategies on how we are going to achieve our objective which is to have an independent nation.”
It was further learned that the closed-door meeting “may not be unconnected with the bid for Igboho’s total freedom and return to Nigeria.”
